Alberto Nisman did not commit suicide and the AMIA bombing was not 'unsolved'
David Horovitz is certain that Argentinian prosecutor Alberto Nisman did not commit suicide and that the AMIA bombing is not 'unsolved.' We all know who was behind it:
Iran and Hezbullah.
Perednik despairs at the naivete of anyone
prepared to countenance that a prosecutor who has spent a decade heading
a 30-strong team investigating the worst terror attack ever committed
in Argentina; who has identified the Iranian leaders who ordered it and
had them placed on Interpol watch lists; who has traced and named the
Hezbollah terrorists who carried out the bombing; who has exposed Iran’s
still-active terror networks in South America; and who was about to
detail the alleged efforts of Argentinian President Cristina Fernández
and Foreign Minister Hector Timerman to whitewash Iran’s role — that
this man would choose to take his own life just a few hours before
giving his testimony to a Congressional hearing.
But Nisman was found dead by “self-inflicted”
bullet wound in a locked apartment with no sign of forced entry, the
Argentinian authorities say? Perednik is succinct and withering about
both motivation and capability: Does anyone doubt that a government
capable of whitewashing Iran is capable of producing a dead prosecutor
in a locked apartment? he asks. “In our last conversation, Nisman told
me that his evidence would either force [those top Argentinian leaders]
to flee or send them to jail. He told me, ‘I’m going to put them in
jail.'” Sunday was their last chance to stop him.
...
As I detailed Monday,
he traced the orchestration of the bombing all the way back to the
August 1993 meeting of Iran’s leadership at which it was commissioned,
and identified the key conspirators to the satisfaction of Interpol. We
know who ordered the bombing — an Iranian government committee headed by
supreme leader Ali Khamenei and then president Hashemi Rafsanjani. We
know who arranged it — the late and unlamented Hezbollah terror chief
Imad Mughniyeh. And we know all about Ibrahim Berro, the suicide bomber
who drove the explosives-filled Renault Trafic van into the building on
July 18, 1994, killing 85 innocents. All thanks to Alberto Nisman.
Solving the case, I should note, is not the same as bringing the
culprits to justice. Despite Nisman’s efforts, the Iranian conspirators
have not been indicted, tried and jailed — in good part, he was about to
allege, because of Fernández’s duplicity. If so, this is a supreme and
terrible irony, given that it was her own late husband, Nestor Kirchner,
horrified by years of flawed and skewed and politicized investigation
of the AMIA attack, who appointed Nisman a decade ago precisely to get
to the truth and air it.
...
Perednik accurately sees in the killing of
Alberto Nisman a “devastating blow” to justice, the death of “a symbol
of pure-hearted dedication to the truth, a world destroyed, and a
victory for the evil-doers.”
He does not, however, believe the entire
battle is necessarily lost. He names Jaime Stiusso, a former top officer
in Argentina’s Secretariat of Intelligence, S.I., who was fired by
Fernández, as the official most capable both of getting to the bottom of
Nisman’s killing and of marshaling and producing the evidence,
including allegedly incriminating tape recordings, that Nisman had been
about to present.
More widely, he’s encouraged by the sight of
thousands of Argentinian demonstrators taking to the streets Monday to
protest Nisman’s death and demand justice. Some of them, he notes, were
carrying placards declaring “I am Nisman.” Others were carrying placards
proclaiming, “Cristina Killer.”
Read the whole thing. Argentina has changed an awful lot since the 1970's. Kirchner may not get away with this.
